A dental bridge, or a “fixed partial denture,” is a dental restoration option that is used to replace one or more teeth in the same area. By using abutment teeth to anchor the bridge to, a dental bridge works to “bridge” or fill in the gap that is left from a missing tooth by placing a false tooth in the area that the gap is in. Dental bridges are coloured and shaped to match your natural teeth, so they seamlessly blend in with the rest of your smile for a very natural appearance. Adjacent teeth are also crowned ensuring that the bridge remains in place and that your overall bite is stabilized. The result is a durable, strong, and aesthetically pleasing solution for missing teeth that can restore your smile back to its original state!
